Ok, that's pretty fun. Also, I *wish* I had eyebrows that thick. 🥲

I added driver options to disable autofill, and that seemed to take care of the issue.

When I'm working with a UI element that may or may not be a link, instead of using link_to_if, I usually prefer to create a wrapper method that accepts a block and handle the conditional check there.

Huh, interesting...I wonder if/where this might apply outside visual art?

I'm looking forward to XO Ruby in Atlanta this weekend! I'll be coming down Friday afternoon and staying until Sunday, and looking to hang out with folks. Will I see anyone there?

Happy to see a new issue of One Ruby Question from @bhumi1102.bsky.social this week! And I appreciated this from the postscript: "Understanding the system is the edge."

I've been working on a speculative workflow library, built on a draft Batches feature for SolidQueue. 😅 I've been low-key obsessed with workflows lately, can't seem to help myself. Here's what the workflow interface looks like currently.

And if you're on the way, let me know and maybe we can roadtrip! ☺️

I'm going to be speaking at @xoruby.com Atlanta on September 13th. XO Ruby is a brand-new (traveling) single-day Ruby conference. If you're a Rubyist in the southeastern US, you should check it out! (And if not, take a look at other 5 stops this fall.)

I wrote some reflections on the flight home from the last RailsConf almost two weeks ago. I've just been sitting on them, feeling some reluctance to share. Maybe because I don't want to be misunderstood? Not sure. But I decided I'd share anyway, and hopefully it's meaningful.

I'm sure there's a good reason for it, but the "?tab=readme-ov-file" added to GitHub readme anchor permalinks drives me bonkers.

2. If you know me, you know I love time tracking. 😊 I've found it takes me about 50 hours to prep a talk...and this one was on the mark. (It was probably closer to 60 with practice sessions I failed to track.)

It's only been a few days, but I'm already missing Sofia and @balkanruby.bsky.social. 🥲 New friends, quality presentations, beautiful city, leisurely meals, long walks, deep discussions, eye-opening history, vibrant parties, great conference. ❤️

It's also difficult to grep, because you have to check multiple casings. And it's annoying to rename controllers, because you may have to hit several data attributes.
What I want is to view all Stimulus properties on an element grouped by controller. I'm toying with a helper method to do just that.
